It is the love of good music and staging and a desire to make thesea part of our community that motivates the SchenectadyLight Opera Company. our fall show fhe Mikado was so successfullygiven at the Erie Theater that we plan to continue to give our performances there and we have increased the number of showings so that more of you might enjoy The chocolate Soldier. we still have the long range objective of a permanent home where all the preparations for our productions may be under one roof. We have made progress in this regard by partial renovation of the old Craig School so that it was possible not only to construct and paint our scenerythere, but alsoto hold a ballet workshop. This fall we hope to conduct additional workshops in dramatics and in scenery de, sign. To meet our ultimate objectives, additions will be necessaryto our Craig School building so as to include a full size practice stage. For this production, our rehearsalshave been held in the schenectady Museum and in the public schools. we thank these organizations for the use of their facilities. Becausewe are a civic undertaking-drawing our support from the entire community-we are eager that our productions pleiue the people of Schenectady and we would like you to have a voice in the selection of our shows. We shall welcome your suggestionsin that regard on future productions. This year we will again encouragetalented vocalistsby awarding scholarships. Auditions will be held in June rather than in the fall as formerly. This changeseems desirable so that more contestantsmay know of the trials and be available to trv for the scholarship awards. Your support of our activities is appreciated,and we trust it will be continued to the end that the schenectadyLight opera Company may becomebetter equipped to bring you even more enjoyable performances in the future. 4*a-.-*a€Qut'u- FRrorrucr E.
